Go be yourself on your way

And don't ever look back to check if I'm okay

And don't ever be sad that you chose him instead

'Cause I don't want regrets and I'd rather be rid of it

And when you want someone who'll care

Who will know how you feel

When you don't want to share

Who will show you support when you've lost your meaning

Just remember this time when you chose not to be with me

And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confessed that I love you more than he does

So choose me instead, oh, choose me instead

'Cause he's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be even half as good as he should be

And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me

Go be in love, I don't care

But don't ever pretend that we're both unaware

'Cause the truth is you still permit me to be

Close enough that I know that you don't want me to leave

And then I remember he's there and he's been there for years

At your side like a stain and when I see you with him

In your eyes there's a pain and it's trapped you inside

Like you can't get away

And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confessed that I love you more than he does

So choose me instead, oh, choose me instead

'Cause he's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be even half as good as he should be

And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confessed that I love you more than he does

So choose me instead, oh, choose me instead

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be even half the man that he should be

Now watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me
